COT:
Phil 1 has Paul in jail and speaking of how people are preaching the good news of Christ for the wrong reasons. To gain clout or thinking they were better than Paul etc.
So what was his response?
Great! Praise God!
He knew God can use anyone to deliver his message.

He even downgraded himself.

In 1st Corinthians, Paul said, “I did not come proclaiming to you of God with lofty speech or wisdom. I was with you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

Does anyone know who Balaam was in the Old Testament?
He was an evil profit called upon to curse the Israelites.
God used his donkey to speak to him and have him see the angel in front of him.

So it doesn’t matter if you are not the best speaker or if you don’t have your doctorate in Bible you can still preach the gospel to those who need it. God proved that even a jackass can get his Word across!
